In the last decade, there has been a turn to history in
international humanitarian law and its accompanying fields. To
examine this historization and to expand the current scope of
scholarship, this book brings together scholars from various
fields, including law, history, sociology, and international
relations. Human rights law, international criminal law, and the
law on the use of force are all explored across the text's four
main themes: historiographies of selected fields of international
law; evolution of specific international humanitarian law rules in
the context of legal gaps and fault lines; emotions as a factor in
international law; and how actors can influence history. This work
will enhance and broaden readers' knowledge of the field and serve
as an excellent starting point for further research.

When studying international law there is often a risk of focusing
entirely on the content of international rules (i.e. regimes), and
ignoring why these regimes exist and to what extent the rules
affect state behavior. Similarly, international relations studies
can focus so much on theories based on the distribution of power
among states that it overlooks the existence and relevance of the
rules of international law. Both approaches hold their dangers. The
overlooking of international relations risk assuming that states
actually follow international law, and discounting the specific
rules of international law makes it difficult for readers to
understand the impact of the rules in more than a superficial
manner. This book unifies international law and international
relations by exploring how international law and its institutions
may be relevant and influence the course of international relations
in international trade, protection of the environment, human
rights, international criminal justice and the use of force. As a
study on the intersection of power and law, this book will be of
great interest and use to scholars and students of international
law, international relations, political science, international
trade, and conflict resolution.
